Playing with Food

If your kids are like mine, they’d much rather play than sit down to eat. Wouldn’t it blow their minds to do both at once? And wouldn’t it blow your mind to see them stay seated and engaged at family meals? And maybe even try new foods without a struggle? This flatware set from Constructive Eating will add fun, incentive, and, quite possibly, tranquility to your table. And it’ll have your kids shoveling food in their mouths in no time at all. Literally. In a nice way.

The Constructive Eating three-piece set features a fork lift fork, front loader spoon and bulldozer pusher. Each apparatus is true to color and scale, a thrill for those small and highly observant construction site fans. Easy-grip handles are made of rubber, offering a particularly useful texture to the under-6 set still mastering their utensils. Safety is of great importance to the people at Constructive Eating—all materials are FDA-approved, and free of PVC, BPA and phthalates. They don’t use paint, either. And their flatware is dishwasher safe.

So imagine a stress-free family dinner, with little balking or wandering. Picture kids happily experimenting with new foods because it’s so much fun to heft that fantastic fork lift. Or maybe you’ll want to save this set for occasions when the kids need extra encouragement to chill—in restaurants, at holiday dinners, at a sibling’s birthday party when it’s hard to be out of the limelight. Enjoy yourself, and leave the heavy lifting to the pros.

What’s your craziest experience with the kids at the table? Share with us here!
